How To Eat For Your Hormones

with podcast guest

Nicole Jardim

share

Basic dietary changes are step one to feeling better, no matter the condition or symptoms you have.

Everything comes from the same root cause: lack of the right nutrients, too many problematic foods, and being in a chronic stress state which will make your body act out. There’s always a reason and your body doesn’t lie.

In this episode, I’m thrilled to be sharing more about the foundational principles of how to improve your hormonal health and menstrual cycles. I’m diving deep into carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and all the controversial food groups. This season I’ll be creating more solo episodes like this, alongside episodes featuring some pretty spectacular guests, so get ready for all the goodness coming your way!

While I’m creating these episodes for the podcast, I’m also creating content for my brand new women’s hormone health certification program. It’s been a longtime goal of mine to turn my apprenticeship program into a certification program and I’ve finally done it! Applications open for the program on September 9th and we kick off in early October. If you want to get on the waitlist for this round or the 2022 program, click here to sign up.

I’m so excited because Agni has just launched a complete women’s health box for healthy hormones and better periods. What I really like about Agni is that they work with a Medical Advisory Board and top chefs to make their products, so if you’ve ever wished your supplements tasted delicious, you’ll really love their new box. The Complete Women’s Health Box has five awesome products in it – my personal favorite is the double chocolate chip cookies. They’re the kind of cookies that make you want to eat the whole box in one sitting. I also really love the seasonings which make seed cycling super easy, plus they turn your avocado toast into otherworldly goodness. Everything in the box is gluten-free, dairy-free, and totally delicious.
